    Question

    You can drink anything that is calorie free (or very low calorie) so Triple check to make sure its made with a sugar substitute and is truly sugarless/free... Even ask for them look up the ingredients whike you wait. Better safe than sorry Good Luck πŸ’™

    My Fitness Pal issue

    The info is still all in there whether or not you officially save it. It will not upload it for the community to view or create a digest with a projected weight in 5 weeks time... NBD I'm guessing they are trying to prevent/limit/protect exposure of eating disorders.
  5. Sounds like you're doing great! Good Luck with everything πŸ’™

    B-Side Question: How do we feel about a back to basics /no exercise component November challenge? (It would be diet centric, mostly cleaning up habits, carefully tracking, mindful practices & recentering lifestyle before the holiday season hits)

    Is this too much food?

    I agree about sliders! They just go down sooooo easy. But proteins... No so fast. Avocado is relatively high calorie because its mostly fat -a healthy type of fat yes but a caloric deficit is still necessary immediately after surgery Good Luck πŸ’š

    ❀My Revision Story❀

    Hey WLS Fam 😍 Updates: Yesterday I was my 3 month post op Surgical/NUT visit. I actually had to delay it a little bit as I was still travelling unexpectedly 😌 (I was 3 months post RNY Conversion on 10/15) On 9/6 I needed a dilatation and for a few weeks after it was hit or miss on if it had worked then all of a sudden I was perfectly fine πŸ™ŒπŸ’ƒπŸ†. I am thrilled. Really patience is key. I know its super frustrating to read when youre in misery but sometimes time is what will do the trick. Not every fix is instant. So it appears I scar to an exaggerated level which is why I stricture and it takes time to show up and relax. I'm keeping an eye on this and will know what the symptoms are so if it happens again we'll take care of it quickly. My surgeon is very very happy that during the endoscopy the sites looked healthy. He also very very happy that I have only lost about 5lbs. He didn't want me to lose anymore weight and was adamant that where i am at is where i belong. I agree because when i dropped to 146 ... Mercy ! The skin on my face and neck started to losen. Nope. We also started to document the rashes under the folds of my skin πŸ˜‰ and he RX powder for it. I suggest everyone get on top of this ASAP if you can... Labs will be processed this week and I'll know what my latest numbers are soon. All food restrictions have been lifted by my NUT. I still don't really eat bread except on very rare occasions. I never eat rice or pasta (was over them since before surgery), I eat starchy vegetables, legumes and roots at my discretion but not in abundance. But bihhh salads here I come

    My ugly truth about WLS

    I think these feelings are VERY normal and not often enough talked about. Probably centered around fear of seeming ungrateful or having the great karmic finger pointing and wagging "you wanted it now well you got it"... IDK {An aside}: After my conversion to RNY my boyfriend began to feel this way for me. He was utterly devasted when more & more foods were added to my no go list (I suspect I'm more adaptive than he is when it comes to that and just was fine) You would have thought he had surgery πŸ˜’... I digress But i hope you find that this is a safe space to vent (without fear) and when you need tangible help and suggestion there are plenty of people who are kind enough to talk in private too! (see post above)

    I don't like my Bariatric Team :S

    Can you find a new team?

    Confused...

    Usually the best recommendations come from the Surgeon paired with strong reflection on sustainable lifestyle Good Luck πŸ’™
